His Excellency Harold B. Butler -13 August 5, 1942.     
 
                                                            
 
 
only for a new order which offers him what he has not and 
                          what he wants.                    
 
                                                            
 
 
Therefore, Mr. Churchill, if I may say so without offence, 
      has misjudged the functions of his office in the present circumstances. 
      He ahs not realized that the more promise of post-war betterment 
      is not good enough, or he would have denied himself the Atlantic 
      Charter. Nor has he realized that it was his urgent obligation 
      to inspire the declaration of a new order of democracy, so that 
        the common man might set out and attack to get it.  
 
                                                            
 
 
Mr. Churchill has neglected and perhaps derided the question 
      of social and economic reform. I believe he has looked down upon 
      the New Deal. I fear that his attitude has influenced some of 
      the New Deal's erstwhile devotees to do likewise. Consciously 
      or unconsciously, Mr. Churchill has been the champion of the 
      status quo both in England and America. To him, this war has 
                    been a war of restoration.              
 
                                                            
 
 
Free from the primary responsibilities of his office, Mr. 
      within the authority of the General Staff. Churchill has concerned 
      himself with technical matters, with questions of strategy and 
                         tactics, falling                   
 
                                                            
 
 
At home he has been supreme. In America, he has moved with 
      Mr. Roosevelt on a plane of genial partnership, forgetting that 
      there can be no such thing as democratic partnership in a war 
      like this. There is either absolute unity or disunity. There 
              is either one head or no head at all.         
 
                                                            
 
 
It is not a matter for surprise, therefore, that Mr. Churchill 
      should have overlooked the vital need for scientific unity of 
      the English-
